This object was made by third-year undergraduate students in Professor Paul Jowlabar’s class CHE324F (Department of Chemical Engineering) in 2011 in order to demonstrate the design and construction of a 3-way ball valve. It was retained by Jowlabar following the class to act as a demonstration piece for future classes, and donated to the collection for the 2017 UTSIC Exhibit, “Untold Stories”.
